Product Review: Montagne Jeunesse Tea Tree Face Spa

I chose the tea tree one because I am currently fighting a breakout that is a result of me going to sleep two nights in a row without even removing my makeup let alone washing my face. Tea tree is supposed to treat blemishes and I figured the cooling of the spearmint would help calm the redness and inflammation.

Natural and Essential Oils Haul from Swansonvitamins.com

Hey there! As you guys know I am currently obsessed with growing longer and healthier hair. Through my in depth research (googling) I have found that certain natural and essential oils are really great for this. So of course I decided to order just about every oil that was supposed to help with my hair concerns. My main concerns right now are faster hair growth, thickening my edges and crown, and dandruff. After some online shopping and price comparing I went with swansonvitamins.com and so far I’m glad I did. Shipping was fast (I ordered it on Friday and it arrived Tuesday), they had the best prices and they included a $5 coupon for my next order in the package. I ended up getting two carrier oils (jojoba and castor) and four essential oils (rosemary, tea tree, lavender, and peppermint).

Before I explain my hair goals and regimen and things of that nature, I thought I should journey back in time and show what my hair has been through thus far.

I’ve been relaxed since I was in about the fourth grade. These are actually the only two pictures I could find of me before my hair was relaxed:

Allow Me to Reintroduce Myself…

Hi there! Obviously I have been MIA for QUITE some while now. I’m not going to rationalize or make excuses about it because honestly it was a combination of being busy/lazy/letting my domain expire.
